I am religious in the sense that I believe in God and I believe that there is an abiding logical spirit that controls what goes on to a certain extent.
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.
Faith is a great thing, and really religious people would like us to believe that faith and knowing are the same thing, but I don't believe that myself. Because there are too many different ideas on the subject. What we know is this: When we die, one of two things happens. Either our souls and thoughts somehow survive the experience of dying or they don't. If they do, that opens up every possibility you could think of. If they don't, it's just blotto. The end.

My heart was pounding, and I was sweating like I was there.
We think this week they keep rates unchanged but I think there is a reasonable chance of rates coming down in July and August and on the back of a continuously weakening European economy.
I want some sort of guarantee that Mr. Harmon is going to do his time in Montana.
The U.S. economy is continuing to weaken. We are bearish over the next few months. The beige book continues to show weakness in the U.S.
